You could buy a transformer, If you know anyone who works on a building site they may be able to help you.

Hi Bobby, you would be doing yourself a favour if you use the 110v drill with a 230/110 transformer because any shock you might receive froma damaged cable etc...will be less dangerous. But anyway it is very difficult to change a single phase motor voltage because basically you would have to rewind the motor completely.
